Chapter 21 A raging past

Tamara.I didn't exactly have a good night rest, mainly because I was worried sick about Hazel. But I called and she seemed okay, just up and about going to work.But I could still feel the sadness in her tone, somehow.I do have plans of my own, to make sure she's not hoarding this pain.Meanwhile, I need to be at the office in time for an urgent meeting. So I roll out of bed to get my day rolling.I didn't think much about Killian, I didn't see the need to but that thought is gone the moment I reach the bottom of the stairs and seeing him with two mugs of coffee, and all dressed up.Ideally, I figured the extra mug was for Chloe so I attempt to ignore and walk past him when his words stops me in my tracks. “Little sugar, just the way you like it,” his lips curled into a smug smile as he stretches his hand out.I roll my eyes at him, not sure I prefer him using that stupid tone on me. He gestures for me to take the mug but even though I preferred his coffee over mine, I was still no

Chapter 22 Knock themselves out

Tamara.Katrina stayed in my mind for more than a few hours. Her words echoed through my head so often I could hardly remember anything else she had said to me.It stung, so badly and Katrina knew it.The final threat, the only one that could make me rife with doubt. I'd never love my mother less, it was simply not an option.But Katrina has manage to plant that seed of doubt in me, and I didn't expect my mom to have an arch nemesis whatsoever.The way she had phrased it made it sound like she knows something that I don't.“That's her Karma,” those words echoed more than it should. Does Katrina know my mother that well before my marriage to Killian?She has never been clear about any of this, I always put it down to her need to berate me.But if there's one thing I'm certain. That day, when Killian had introduced me to her, she had a smile on, the only time she had ever smiled at me, but that smile is gone the second I said my last name.I found it very concerning and I had asked my m

Chapter 23 Hurt to kill

Killian.I watch as Tamara walks off, with Chloe massaging the back of my arm.She— she tends to be hurt when Chloe's around, the more reason why we're doing this but lately she just gives us both a blank stare.I can't tell what's going on in that head, and it bothers me.There's this saying that when a woman is silent, then there's an underlying storm on it's way.While I don't totally believe in this, I'm beginning to give it a thought.Tamara who would often fuss, cry her eyes out, throw sharp glances at Chloe and I, is suddenly immune to all of it.Chloe storms in right after me, as I attempt to unbotton my suit jacket, she rounded me till she was right in my face.“What the hell is going on?” She asked, her arms crossed, her eyes darting on. I could tell she was silently seething.When I don't give her the answer she's waiting for, she sighed and pressed on. “You can't be doing her favors, Killian. And the last I checked, you were supposed to be hurting her, but that's not the c

Chapter 24 Restless mind

Tamara.My cell phone rings about half an hour before I'm due to go home and I see my mother's hospital on the caller ID.My heart soars and simultaneously drops when I see it, mainly because it was rare for them to contact me directly.It has always been Hilda, but my name's been registered as her immediate family.I pick my phone in a rush and answered it with shaky fingers.“Tamara Ravenford speaking,” I answered.“Hello, we're calling to remind you of your mother's appointment tomorrow, we couldn't get through to her,” a lady says over the phone and I breathed out in relief.“Alright, she will be there tomorrow, thank you,” I say in a light tone.I end the call and tried Hilda's number, and it still wasn't reachable, I leave her a message.I made a mental note to visit the hospital with mom tomorrow, it's been a while since I did that, it had been because I was avoiding being asked about Killian but now there was really no need to anymore.I have another reason in mind though, I ne

Chapter 25 The final straw

Tamara.It was a cool Saturday morning and I was ready and about to go for a good run. It's been a while since I jogged and I was feeling like I needed it to keep my mind off things.I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, work related and my life, which sucks at this point.I had received a text from Alex, earlier this morning, he was inviting me for a luncheon tomorrow. I hadn't given him and answer yet, I was hoping to do that after my run, with a clear head of course.I tightened my shoe lace and grabbed my water can. I hadn't seen Killian all week, it's either I'm off to work before him, or he was before me.I really can't tell, but I'm pretty sure I lived with another human in here, at least the missing bottle of water in the refrigerator, and a few misplaced items tells me so.I reach the door, pulled it open and paused at the sight before me.Chloe is standing right outside the door, with her box, my eyes lingered on the otherwise packed box but before I could put two and tw

Chapter 26 Seeing no wrong

Killian.Asking Chloe to move in was a wise move….or a stupid one, I couldn't be sure.But it did work somewhat. Tamara’s eyes were wide as though she hadn't expected this, I could easily tell she was pissed, even though she didn't utter a word.Yeaah, I got the reaction I had hoped for but at what expense?While I should be happy about it, I wasn't. There's this tightness around my chest, and even now I still can't tell why.I had to stick with the script regardless, whether it feels right or not, it didn't matter.Damon and Sebastian stares at me with eyes wide open. “Tell me you didn't?” Seb fixed his gaze on me, waiting for an answer.I give them both a look and replied without a care in the world. “I did, Chloe moved in, figured it's time we stir things up,”Damon eyes me carefully. “You figured or Chloe did?” He asks in a low tone.I shrug. “It doesn't matter, she's lives with me now.” I muttered before finishing the remains of liquor in my glass.Sebastian stares at me. “You d

Chapter 27 Kill to love

Tamara.I told Hazel about the new situation at hand, she was mad and literally dragged my ass to her house with her incessant phonecalls.“Come to my place, Tammy. I don't want you to overthink things,” her last message had popped up.She was right, I probably thought my morning run will do me good, it had but the second I walked back home and saw Chloe moving around my kitchen like she owned the place.I felt sick.I had thought about the one in a million reasons why Killian would bring Chloe in to live here while actively avoiding divorcing me.It all came back to hurting me. It makes little or no sense when I think about it.It— it just makes me want to hate Killian forever.I picked up my phone. “Fine, on my way.” I typed back.I dressed up in a simple outfit, a short jean and a tank top to match. I came downstairs hoping to not see either of them.I guess it was too late because Chloe is sitting right there, a glass of juice in hand.But there was no Killian in sight.I ignored

Chapter 28 Jokes on us

Killian.I stared at the food in my plate, hesitant to eat. It's not physically appealing but I don't condemn it, it might actually taste better.I look at Chloe who's smiling at me. “Go ahead and have a bite,” her smile spreads, her eyes darting between me and the food.She had dismissed Lucille, my chef, wanting to cook the food herself.I nod, picking up the fork and taking a small morsel into my mouth but then I almost spite it out.I pulled the tissue paper and quickly spite the food back out. It must've been the excess salt– or pepper, I can't tell, it just…wasn't edible, at all.“I'm so sorry– I just wanted to make something nice for us,” she breathed out, visibly tensed.I gulp down the content in my glass, poured myself more water and emptied it, after then did I offer a small smile. “It's fine, don't apologize,” I tell her, she must've put a lot of efforts into making this.She still wasn't relaxed, so I quickly added. “It's fine, really.” I smiled some more. “I will just ord

Chapter 29 Petty much?

Tamara.“You look — absolutely gorgeous,” Alex says, his eyes sweeping all over me as he comes out to guide me in. “And right in time too,”I smiled warmly at him, taking in the beautiful decor before shifting my gaze back to him. “Thank you, Alex. You look good yourself,” I acknowledged.He nods, his smile spreading. “Come, I will introduce you to some of our investors,” he retorts, offering his arm.I take it, and allowed him to guide us in.Alex introduces me to people I've heard of but never met before, people who I don't recognize working with us in the past, alot has really changed around here.But it felt nice to actually socialize with people, it's been a while. I got looks for sure, but I blended in so well, with Alex not letting go of my hand.“Would you like something to drink?” Alex asks me when the last investor finally leaves him alone.“Please,” I answer him with a bright smile, one he returns before leading me away to the table housing the champagne.He picks up two gl

Chapter 30 A sucker for love

Killian.“I can't believe you made me do that,” Sebastian groaned into the phone.“Well, thank you. She wouldn't pick my calls,” I tell him, still dialing her number with my other phone.“Fine, can I go now?” Seb asked, waiting for my response.“No, you can't. She's still there with him, I need you to still keep an eye on her, please.” “Don't make me babysit your wife, Killian.” Seb breathed out frustratingly. “It's weird enough that I said that to her. Moreover, she's at a luncheon, not a freaking party, man.”“Still, if she's not picking my calls, what does that say?”“To leave her alone, I guess.” Sebastian quipped back.There was a long pause from my end, causing Seb to concur.“Alright, you win. But I can't guarantee that I stay here till the end. I can't be caught up in your mess,”“I'll take that, thanks dude,”I kill the call and turn to see Chloe behind me, her arms crossed.I frown a little. “How long have you been standing there?”“Long enough to hear you fuss over unanswer
